Any programmable thermostat that has the ability to lock the screen with a pass code should work.

If it's used to promote an agenda or to scare you into doing something, then I take it very cautiously (like the jobs numbers, that were adjusted 340% retroactively...do you still place value on that reporting, after repeated significant adjustments?). 

While this isn’t ideal from a transparency perspective, it’s a foreseeable outcome when the regulation doesn’t directly impact flipping economics.The Bottom Line: While AB 968 may promote transparency in theory, its real impact will likely create more complexity and hurdles for sellers of distressed properties and newer market participants rather than significantly altering the business strategies of established flippers.

After doing some initial research, I decided to check out some zip codes in Philly as that's an hour's drive from where I live - 19132, 19133, 19134.

I don't think they differentiate the rental type for the writeoffs.I've researched this a fair amount, from what I understand there's an exception section 469 of the tax code that says if you actively manage the str and have an average stay length of 7 days or less then it's treated as an active business and the income is therefore not passive and expenses are able to be written off against W2 income.

My properties have usually been in the 39206 and 39212 zip codes which are a mixed bag.

I guess about the only thing that would worry me the most would be that if you add to the existing building, and if the city code has changed since after the initial build, then they are gonna want you to make all the necessary changes to the existing portion of the pemb.

Hi Adriana, I did a quick search on that zip code and trend data is showing it's a Sellers almost balanced market.

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software up to an annual limit.In 2024, for example, taxpayers can expense up to $1,220,000 of qualified assets.This election can apply to many types of tangible personal property, such as machinery, equipment, and off-the-shelf software, which are used predominantly in your business.Limits on Section 179 ExpensingAs attractive as Section 179 may seem, there are limits.For tax year 2024, the maximum investment limit is set at $3,050,000.If your business places more than this amount in service, the amount you can expense is reduced dollar-for-dollar over this threshold.In addition to the dollar and investment limits, the amount of your Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your taxable business income for the year.This means that even if your business invests heavily in qualified property, the deduction could be limited by the business’s profitability.Also, not all property qualifies for Section 179.Real property, like buildings and structural components, generally does not qualify unless it is "qualified improvement property."

My property is in the 44111 zip code.
